Brand Designer

About this role

THIS ROLE CAN BE OFFICE-BASED IN FREIBURG (GERMANY) / SAN FRANCISCO (USA) OR HYBRID WITH A REQUIREMENT TO BE IN ONE OF THE OFFICES ONE FULL WEEK PER MONTH. ABOUT BLACK FOREST LABS We’re the team building the foundational layer for visual intelligence: multimodal models trained jointly on images, video, audio, and action to see, generate, and understand the world. Our founding team pioneered latent diffusion and Stable Diffusion, the breakthroughs that made generative AI accessible to millions.

With FLUX, we're pushing into generative media at scale, machines that act in the physical world, and emerging applications in computer use. Our FLUX models top public benchmarks and run in production in some of the world's biggest platforms. We're a small, fast growing research lab competing with the largest companies in the world. From our labs in Freiburg to San Francisco, we're building what comes next. WHY THIS ROLE Black Forest Labs builds visual intelligence: models that create and understand images and video, and increasingly act in the physical world.

For a company whose work is visual, the brand is part of the work. It's often the first thing people see of us, before they've tried a single model. It has to hold the same bar as our models and grow as they do. We're hiring our first Brand Designer to define that brand and own it wherever people meet BFL. You'll bring the taste that sets the standard for how BFL looks, and build what keeps it consistent across launches, the website, events and everything in between.

This is a hands-on lead role. You'll ship much of the work yourself while setting up the tools and processes that let others ship at your level. Over time, you'll also shape how brand and marketing design grows at BFL, including who we hire next. WHAT YOU'LL WORK ON - Lead how our visual identity grows, including logo, type, color, imagery and motion, and turn it into guidelines and design systems others can work from.

- Create the concept and creative direction for each model launch, campaign and event, working with research to show what every new model can do. - Make the work people see every day, online and offline: social posts, editorial, decks, docs, sales material, event spaces, merchandise and print. - Own the direction of bfl.ai http://bfl.ai and our growth pages, and help make the website one of the clearest and strongest expressions of the brand.
